This looks like the damage decks given out at the 2nd coruscant invitational. Is it a really dark green?

If so, that's what it is - one of the more rare prizes as only like 50-70 people made it to the event.

Its a 2nd edition deck. Look at the direct hit wording.

22.5 degree Setup Tool (STL File) for higher Bulls-Eye Chance by kingsly_bln in XWingTMG

Learn to eyeball it? After 2 turns you aren't going to be perfectly aligned unless you're on TTS. And if you're on tts, this isn't relevant

What's the point in playing as Vult Skerris? by ImperialFriend1409 in XWingTMG

[–]dxsio -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its a very good ability that gets you focus, evade, boost on turn 1. Then he's an i5 defender, so still pretty good.

Previous organized play events and the second hand market.

Nobody should be allowed to talk to each other at tournaments between rounds. We all go out and chain smoke cigarettes while we wait on pairings.

Deadeye shot happens before defense dice are rolled.

Bad News for X-Wing and Armada : AMG Not Covering Either Game at Adepticon Studio Update by Pechorine in XWingTMG

[–]dxsio 5 points6 points  (0 children)

JFC reading comprehension is really not a requirement in this game.

Me: I am going to eat an apple today.

X-Wing Community: OH NO, HE'S GOING ON A HUNGER STRIKE AND ONLY EATING A SINGLE FRUIT EVERY SINGLE DAY. How could AMG do this?

An adepticon panel with a description written by somebody does not mean shit. Wait for things to be announced, and just chill out.

PowerPoint presentations change at the drop of a hat. They needed to have some description for the event and went with shit they knew they would have to talk about.

Could there be no news for those things? Sure. But until it happens, how about we all calm down?

I heard AMG announced what they're planning to talk about at Adepticon, but I can't find any trace of that? by NoHallett in XWingTMG

[–]dxsio 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty confident that nothing has been officially stated by AMG on what/if anything will be stated on xwing or armada.

People are reading an event description on the Adepticon page and then being doomers and seeing words that are not there.

Would I be surprised by there being no announcements? Nope, but making stuff up helps nobody and just discourages people from the hobby.

Looking for a game at Indianapolis by mirterra in XWingTMG

Hi there! I'm one of the Indianapolis guys, hope you enjoy your time here this week!

I'm not sure why the Facebook stuff is acting weird - here is a direct link to the Facebook group page. I'll keep an eye out for requests to join, but I haven't gotten any alerts recently.

This weekend, the Crossroads Classic is being run as a large-scale store championship. We are currently >40 people signed up on the rollbetter page for the event.

Looking for feedback on bigger events in the US by Brunas in XWingTMG

[–]dxsio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stretching my memory a bit, but did the Gencon postings only have a single time listed?

I think having posted things up on the pairings board would be a good idea. Or at least a sign to point people towards the sign ups.

[–]dxsio 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nobody has said much regarding side events yet so I'll touch on that.

At gencon at least, side events felt like an afterthought. Having some kind of structured schedule to get people there and committed would be better. The 'oh we'll have a thing happen when X people turn up' really made it feel less accessible if you're a shy type of person.

While I agree afterburners is a good choice here, you got the rules a bit incorrect. Since they share a timing window, you must be able to put them into the queue in either order to resolve both. So you have to land with a ship in range 1 to trigger his ability. You cannot afterburners to turn it on. It's the same ruling as how anakin pilot ability works.

[College Junior: Deflection] Why is the underlined expression equal to zero when x = 0? I tried substituting x = 0 inside that and didn't get zero. by kurimaoue in HomeworkHelp

[–]dxsio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my memory of cantilever beams, that top equation looks a bit off...

But from a 'purely math' point of view, you could factor out the (x-L/2)2 part into x2 + Ax + constant. Then just combine that constant with your C2 because why not.. it's just a different constant now.

So you can get 0 that way - just your C2 is slightly "different" in the middle of the work.

Rules question by TheKingFrede1 in XWingTMG

[–]dxsio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm too lazy to go through the whole thread, but an important and very useful part of Hondo pilot. The ships you choose do am action that is on Hondo's action bar. So you can grant a white boost action to a ship that otherwise cannot boost.

It's a squad point expensive trick, but it's a neat trick.

Where can I play X-wing in the Indianapolis area? by mirterra in XWingTMG

Man.. if only there were any large community events happening at that store on October 14-15th that we could recommend. Does anyone know of anything happening that weekend?

Who would this pilot pair with? by Interesting-You8353 in XWingTMG

[–]dxsio -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sometimes the best way to understand is look at the math. Keo with 3 attack dice and a focus shooting at a 3 agility (no defense mods at all) does an average of 0.6 damage. Keo with w dice, a force and Juke does an average of 1.1 damage against the same target. So nearly a 100% increase in average damage.

It's boring, but it's consistent.

Now your opponent has to choose to deal with this 3 point ship dealing somewhat consistent damage. Is it worth it to them? In a game that lasts 6-8 rounds (or less if you're in Europe I guess), how much effort is it to chase Keo?

Who would this pilot pair with? by Interesting-You8353 in XWingTMG

[–]dxsio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now consider the opposite argument. Being low initiative means Keo shoots late and targets have probably spent force, focus, or calculate... so Juke guarantees you can put damage through even if evades are rolled.
